First published in 2004, this volume recognises that, as society
changes, so must its organisations; as organisations change, so
must their management competencies. The requirement for
organisations to be flexible, innovative and adaptable in
environments of increasing complexity and uncertainty is also a
requirement of any organisation's most essential resource: its
people. They not only work for the organisation - they are the
organisation. The second edition of this highly successful book
provides a comprehensive and thought-provoking examination of the
operational and strategic skills, demands and responsibilities of
the modern workforce, and in particular its management. Reflected
here are the manager's new and changing priorities. Attention is
given to the manager's role, the motivation to work and succeed,
and teamworking. Also emphasised is the new psychological contract,
highlighting reliance on self whilst maintaining sensitivity to
diversity concerns. Providing clear and decisive leadership
requires the projection of a vision that captures the imagination
of others, but inevitably managers face conflict and adversity.
Working in Organisations therefore discusses how power and politics
can be moulded to positive advantage. The challenges facing
organisations go beyond cost and profitability, as political and
environmental challenges have forcefully entered into managerial
responsibility. The book asks 'What is the ultimate purpose and
contribution of organisations?' and highlights profound governance
and ethics concerns. The design of organisations is also explored,
and how creating appropriate structures will in turn focus
resources to achieve desired ends. This book provides a broad
coverage of key issues, ranging from a close examination of the
manager's job to a discussion of the corporate and social forces
that determine our lives. Written in an easy-to-read style and
bursting with case examples, Working in Organisations acts as
mentor and guide to those whose quest is for ever greater
sustainable accomplishment. Written by a distinguished team of
authors, this book will continue to be welcomed as the definitive
text on organisational culture and change for academics,
researchers and managers around the world.
